This is for the ones who don't want to go to the link:
What are the symptoms of BDD?
* Being preoccupied with minor or imaginary physical flaws, usually of the skin, hair, and nose, such as acne, scarring, facial lines, marks, pale skin, thinning hair, excessive body hair, large nose, or crooked nose.
* Having a lot of anxiety and stress about the perceived flaw and spending a lot of time focusing on it, such as frequently picking at skin, excessively checking appearance in a mirror, hiding the imperfection, comparing appearance with others, excessively grooming, seeking reassurance from others about how they look, and getting cosmetic surgery.
EDIT...Denise gets the credit for this link.

it isn't a medical condition, it is just low self esteem. it can lead to depression, and anxiety disorders...or the person just grows up and realizes that they are just as good as anyone else.
